2 Attendance Absences : Due to the laboratory style and cumulative nature of the knowledge and skill acquired in this class, attendance is mandatory. Students will be graded on individual projects as well as class participation. Therefore, each student will be allowed 2 unexcused absences. Each unexcused absence beyond 2 will result in the lowering of the student s attendance portion of the final grade by 5 points. If a student must be absent due to illness, please phone me at my office or the costume studio. An absence may be excused if appropriate documentation of an illness or extenuating circumstance is provided. Students are responsible for making up any missed information or in- class projects that were covered during each absence. Arrangements must be made with the instructor for the making up of missed in-class projects and are subject to availability of the craft room based upon the needs of other courses and the production schedule. Tardiness: All classes start at the specified time. Students are expected to be ready for instruction or class work at the beginning of each class period. Each late arrival will result in a ½ point reduction of the attendance portion of the student s grade. Due Dates Projects are due as stated on the course schedule and should be ready at the start of class. Critique and discussion of projects will occur within class time for that day. Failure to have a project ready reduces the effectiveness of the student s class participation and demonstrates the student s inability to meet deadlines. If a student foresees being unable to have a project ready, please contact me and a possible extension can be considered. As deadlines are extremely important in a professional setting and we are striving to prepare you to be working professionals, the need for extensions should be avoided. Grading The course is designed to allow the student to gain basic costume craft skills that are useful as a designer and technologist. The ability to modify clothing or fabric to suit the needs of a design is highly advantageous. To do so within a scheduled timeframe is crucial. Therefore, grading is based on attendance and class participation, as well as the accuracy and timeliness of individual projects. Attendance and Class participation Dye Quiz Projects 1, 2, 3 & 10 pts each Project 4 & 15 pts each Total 25 pts 5 pts 40 pts 30 pts 100 pts A = pts C+ = pts A- = C = pts B+ = pts C- = B = pts D = pts B- = E = Below 68 pts
